Pockets Full of Stone





Pockets Full of Stones



I would like to fly away
On this cold wintry day
But my pockets are full of stones
And my old wings are fragile bones


My benevolent friend, the moon
Is hibernating in his orbital cocoon
So, I’m grounded with muddy toes
Stuck here on this frosty meadow

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

  5. Such powerful, poignant, relatable word-pics in your poem! They definitely stir the emotions.
    When we are stuck (emotionally or physically) on a cold wintry day…we must remember the sun and the moon will shine for us soon. 🙂

      1. Yes, nature sure teaches us a lot of positive things.
        We must hang on. 🙂
        And thank you for writing poems about what you learn from (and gain from) nature. You and your poems are inspirational! 🙂

  11. Sometimes there are just, too many, earthly burdens, preventing us from, taking flight, and, we still desperately, needed to be free, and, we are, eventually, able to, break away, as we’re, able to, free our, minds…
